Webcast: Blog Versus Print: Have Blogs Replaced Newspapers and Should We Care?

A panel discussion that took place in late July is now available on the web.

Have blogs replaced newspapers and should we care? An expert panel discusses the pros and cons of instant news in an event sponsored by the USC Information Services Division, USC Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities, and the USC Annenberg School for Communication. As newspapers scurry for readers and advertisers, more and more bloggers deliver gossip, news and commentary faster, cheaper and more efficiently. The debate is that, while bloggers respond more nimbly than traditional news-gathering institutions, they do so by sacrificing objectivity, accuracy and reliability.

Panel:
Martin Kaplan, associate dean, USC Annenberg School

Kevin Drum, writer, Washington Monthly

Keven Roderick, author and journalist, LA Observed

Ana Marie Cox

Runs about 1 hour.
